[00:00:09] <shaun416> Hi all
[00:00:15] <shaun416> hello Jymmm
[00:01:47] <Jymmm> andypugh: Very cool toy =)
[00:02:54] <shaun416> Jymmm, whats your thought on mini lathes?like microlux or lms
[00:02:59] <MrHindsight> how many ponds per hour will it pump?
[00:03:19] <andypugh> 350 gallons per minute, I think.
[00:03:31] <MrHindsight> andypugh: in all seriousness, what type of pump is it?
[00:03:56] <andypugh> She is basically pretty much the same spec as any other fire engine, they had pumps sorted bu then.
[00:04:11] <MrHindsight> centrifugal?
[00:04:20] <MrHindsight> innneresting
[00:04:46] <andypugh> The pump is a 2-stage back-to-back centrifugal pump with an iron body and bronze impeller to designed by Tomini.
[00:05:22] <andypugh> The same design was used from then to about 1985 with only changes to (cheaper) materials.

[00:49:13] <witnit> how does one know what their printer port address is? Interrupt: pin A routed to IRQ 21
[00:49:14] <witnit> Region 0: I/O ports at 5058 [size=8]
[00:49:14] <witnit> Region 1: I/O ports at 5050 [size=4]
[00:49:14] <witnit> Region 2: I/O ports at 5020 [size=32]
[00:49:38] <jdh> try lspci -vv
[00:50:14] <witnit> i just pasted the lspci -vv
[00:50:21] -!- FreezingCold [FreezingCold!~FreezingC@135.0.41.14] has joined #linuxcnc
[00:51:07] <jdh> oh. That doesn't look like I remember it.
[00:51:41] <topcyde> try it with one -v
[00:51:44] <Jymmm> You want the BASE ADRESS, no the IRQ. (0378, 0278, etc)
[00:51:51] <witnit> it says the parallel port it 0xford I wonder if they did that to be funny
[00:52:11] <Jymmm> There is no 'r', so probably
[00:52:22] <shaun416> Hi
[00:53:02] <witnit> https://gist.github.com/anonymous/10564005
[00:56:19] <witnit> so jymm where might I find this base address, I assume it is 5058 5050 5020 but it doesnt say what is what
[00:58:30] <topcyde> pastebin the who lspci -v return and link it back here
[00:58:35] <witnit> i just did
[00:58:37] <topcyde> whole
[00:58:40] -!- twk has quit [Quit: Page closed]
[00:58:46] <topcyde> oh the github
[00:59:18] <jdh> is it a PCI parallel interface?
[00:59:33] <witnit> yeah
[00:59:34] <jdh> or rather, is that the only one
[00:59:40] <witnit> no
[01:01:24] <topcyde> witnit is this on a laptop?
[01:01:25] <witnit> https://gist.github.com/anonymous/10564168
[01:01:28] <witnit> no
[01:01:58] <jdh> I'd try 5050
[01:02:15] <witnit> how do you know though?
[01:02:29] <shaun416> hmm
[01:02:34] <shaun416> anyone have a HF lathe/
[01:02:37] <shaun416> dare I ask...
[01:02:46] <jdh> shaun416: two of them.
[01:02:59] <shaun416> are they good/.
[01:03:16] <jdh> good covers a lot of ground.
[01:03:30] <shaun416> pics of what you made?
[01:03:31] <jdh> overall, I'd say no.
[01:03:42] <shaun416> they are not good?
[01:03:45] <jdh> but they aren't bad, they are what they are.
[01:03:50] <shaun416> :/
[01:04:02] <shaun416> better off buying a microlux or little machine shop?
[01:04:56] <jdh> depends on what you want out of it, but I wouldn't have high expectations for any chinese 7x
[01:05:08] <jdh> the 8x12 is much beefier machine
[01:05:38] <shaun416> i want something decent
[01:05:42] <shaun416> that will be reliable
[01:05:51] <jdh> size of parts to make?
[01:05:57] <shaun416> i dont need 500lbs of cast iron
[01:06:01] <shaun416> or an old monarch
[01:06:15] <jdh> check out 12x grizzlys
[01:06:16] <shaun416> I need something that can fit on a small bench,
[01:06:20] <shaun416> is decent for the price
[01:06:24] <shaun416> and under 1k
[01:06:57] <jdh> HF 8x12 weighs 3x as much as their 7x
[01:07:06] <shaun416> yes
[01:07:11] <shaun416> its also more pricy
[01:07:47] <jdh> http://www.grizzly.com/products/10-x-22-Bench-Top-Metal-Lathe/G0602
[01:07:57] <shaun416> its all the same chinese
[01:08:14] <jdh> HF 7x is often on sale for $399 then 25% coupon.,
[01:08:20] <jdh> won't get any where near that on price.
[01:08:28] <shaun416> well yeah...
[01:08:41] <shaun416> but doesnt that tell you something...
[01:08:48] <shaun416> and is tooling available?
[01:08:52] <topcyde> witnit, have you used rmod and lsmod to remove and reinstall parport?
[01:09:14] <witnit> no
[01:09:21] <witnit> I never assumed I should have to do anything
[01:10:12] <topcyde> try this then: cat /proc/ioports | grep parport
[01:10:13] shaun416 is now known as shaun413
[01:10:24] <witnit> maybe the technology is just so new, the computer cant handle it, you know since printer ports just came out 6 months ago
[01:10:37] <topcyde> hehehe

[01:11:08] <Jymmm> witnit: was that before or after tokenring?
[01:11:10] <topcyde> found this of use when helping my frind troubleshoot getting linuxcnc setup this past fall
[01:11:12] <topcyde> http://stackoverflow.com/questions/8829820/finding-memory-address-of-a-parallel-port-on-linux
[01:11:46] <witnit> well ichanged my onboard parallel ports address to 278 and now it wont boot.
[01:11:47] <witnit> so
[01:11:54] <witnit> a min.
[01:12:42] <witnit> should have just bought another mesa card,
[01:13:47] <topcyde> one thing I've ran into with the pci cards is that for somereason they don't work when you install them onto a running machine, you have to reinstall LinuxCNC after putting in the hardware.
[01:13:57] <witnit> topcyde cat /proc/ioports | grep parport
[01:14:00] <witnit> results
[01:14:04] <topcyde> Or I'm just too dumb to get tehconfiguration right.
[01:14:10] <witnit> 5050-5052 : parport1
[01:14:10] <witnit> 5058-505a : parport1
[01:14:10] <witnit> 505b-505f : parport1
[01:14:31] <shaun413> Jymmm, thoughts on mini lathes
[01:14:33] <shaun413> 7x
[01:14:54] <topcyde> go with the first one
[01:15:19] <topcyde> this is onboard parallel port right?
[01:15:23] <witnit> no
[01:15:29] <witnit> PCI
[01:15:50] <topcyde> and you had the card in when you installed?
[01:15:51] <witnit> my onboartd is currently sitting on 278-027a
[01:16:05] <witnit> I did not, I assume I shall try it.
[01:16:09] <witnit> but really?
[01:16:16] <witnit> Im SURE i dont need to
[01:16:45] <shaun413> :/
[01:16:50] <topcyde> Twice before I ran into this and I back up my previous statement of I may just be too dumb to get it configured correctly.
[01:17:07] <witnit> yeah topcyde im definately going to resort to that
[01:17:40] <witnit> I just thought maybe someone would be like... ohh bla blah THIS is how you know what to use as the base adress.
[01:18:00] <topcyde> I thought that too
[01:18:05] <topcyde> both times
[01:18:34] <witnit> welp haha I think I will just do as you have done :)
[01:18:55] <topcyde> Buddy and I spent a week looking at allsorts of forums and chat logs trying to figure out where we screwed up the first time.
[01:19:11] <shaun413> 0.0
[01:19:20] <witnit> its a fresh system but atleast this time the card I have has actual chips on it and shows up as a printer port instead of serial device
[01:19:39] <topcyde> well that is certainly a bonus
[01:19:46] <witnit> the other one I had was some crazy nonsense 50cent card
[01:20:00] <witnit> someone tried to pass as a standard ready to go parallel port
[01:20:13] <topcyde> sometimes you get lucky with those. sometimes ... well usually not.
[01:20:23] <witnit> yeah i knew it was bad idea when I bought it
[01:20:35] <andypugh> It’s one of the three from /proc/ioports. Just see which one works?
[01:20:55] <witnit> yeah andypugh I just wanted to know how you can tel
[01:20:58] <witnit> tell
[01:20:59] <topcyde> but hey I always like getting $5 of components for 50cents
[01:21:33] <witnit> and just swapping those addresses out in the config did now give good results
[01:21:34] <topcyde> it's usually the first one
[01:22:01] <andypugh> One maybe the port to use for EPP

[01:23:13] <witnit> take care AP
[01:28:08] <witnit> ha I must have found something right, now im managing to lock up the pc evertime I call the card =D
[01:28:43] <shaun413> witnit,
[01:28:47] <shaun413> ever use a HF?
[01:29:06] <witnit> I dont know what those two letters stand for
[01:29:15] <shaun413> Harbor freight
[01:29:25] <witnit> I hear they make good door stops
[01:29:31] <shaun413> :p
[01:29:56] <shaun413> what is the BEST option for a new lathe
[01:30:01] <shaun413> 7x size
[01:30:55] <topcyde> usually HF stand for high frequency, as in how highly frequently shaun413 is annoying people with repeatedly asking the same question to people hoping to somehow get the answer he wants.
[01:31:03] <shaun413> Hmmm....
[01:38:51] <witnit> this should be a more common thing to see

[04:08:18] <mhaberler> du you understand the AM335X architecture insofar as what a PRU is and does?

[04:26:06] <zq> of course
[04:26:27] <zq> but at the end of the day, you still have to do generate pulses in a loop
[04:26:39] <zq> and the pru has no fpu
[04:26:40] <shaun413> Is the gingery stuff actually good?
[04:26:45] <shaun413> Worth making?
[04:35:58] <mhaberler> you dont need fp for the stepgen base thread, which is basically what the PRU stepgen code does
[04:36:38] <mhaberler> th fp part of stepgen is still host side
[04:36:58] <mhaberler> but that is servo rate

[08:41:30] <archivist> the chinese copy is a lot cheaper and if you get to pick the best in a pile is reasonably good
[08:41:47] <GuShH_> haha
[08:41:52] <GuShH_> like pigs, sorting through the crap.
[08:42:10] <GuShH_> I'm looking at used jacobs ... that one just got mixed in the list
[08:42:24] <GuShH_> the low duty small ones are very cheap by comparison
[08:42:27] <GuShH_> even when new
[08:42:41] <archivist> boss had one, looked at a pile at a show, got one and it is effin good for the price
[08:42:46] <GuShH_> but... the ball bearing, that's not something they produce. the rest seems to be the same inside
[08:43:02] <GuShH_> I just looked at a picture of a replacement kit
[08:43:58] <GuShH_> seems the outer sleeve just rides on the bearing but the rest is exactly the same?
[08:45:10] <archivist> copied, but to what specification :)
[08:45:49] <GuShH_> http://www.sears.com/jacobs-manufacturing-co-ball-bearing-geared-key/p-SPM7466704905
[08:46:08] <GuShH_> I like how one of the pictures shows an old rusty one...
[08:46:35] <GuShH_> and it's not even the same model
[08:47:11] * GuShH_ has a beef with jacobs, from Lost
[08:47:57] <archivist> I just get an expport page from sears not what you pointed at

[08:50:27] <GuShH_> so maybe that wasn't USD?, what's going on...
[08:50:45] <GuShH_> that's so wrong at so many levels.

[10:35:03] <witnit> nice
[10:35:35] <Deejay> the man with steppers mounted on stilts
[10:35:54] <Deejay> ;-)
[10:36:51] <archivist> stilts are ok the coupler I see not so ok
[10:38:14] <witnit> whats wrong with coupler?
[10:38:21] <Deejay> have to leave again, cya later guys!
[10:38:35] <witnit> cu
[10:38:54] -!- Deejay has quit [Quit: bbl]
[10:38:57] <bedah> yes, what's wrong with them? too sturdy?
[10:40:15] <witnit> the only real problem i see is the open vents on spindle
[10:40:49] <archivist> normally one uses a coupler that can deal with the stepper axis not being in line with the screw axis
[10:41:04] <witnit> oh to prevent binding
[10:41:42] <archivist> the extra force will cause the coupler screws to come loose just when you dont want
[10:41:57] <bedah> hm ok.
[10:42:16] <bedah> i think even loctite will not solve this
[10:42:31] <witnit> I dunno those are not very high torque
[10:42:53] <witnit> but some of those couplers are cheap
[10:43:14] <witnit> but hard to fit where that goes I think
[10:44:54] <Swapper_> anyone that can explain why i get 8192 pulses when i turn the motor shaft of the motor 1 turn but the output lines should be 4096
[10:45:24] <Swapper_> i did see somting that the mesa 7i77 multiply the counts with 4
[10:45:39] <Swapper_> but then that should be 16384
[10:45:47] <Swapper_> not 8192
[10:45:55] <archivist> counting edges
[10:46:08] <Swapper_> ya but why only x 2 then ?
[10:46:21] <archivist> have you set the right mode
[10:46:54] <Swapper_> i have mode 0
[10:46:59] <Swapper_> and that should be right
[10:47:09] <Swapper_> since i have a quaderature encoder
[10:47:41] <witnit> you are sure it is software issue
[10:48:00] <witnit> possibly got a wire backwards?
[10:48:16] <archivist> what does the encoder label say the count is
[10:48:55] <Swapper_> its a servodriver so i can set it in sofware
[10:49:08] <Swapper_> it emulates a 4096 line encoder atm
[10:49:47] <Swapper_> and in pncconf i type in 4096 lines and it x 4 = 16384
[10:50:02] <Swapper_> its for the spindle drive
[10:50:10] <witnit> what does the scope look like
[10:50:16] <witnit> same both directions?
[10:50:18] <Swapper_> and i trying to get the rpm output to work
[10:50:47] <Swapper_> yea i zeroed the encoder and turende the shaft 1 turn and it got 8192 pulses
[10:50:49] <Swapper_> on the counter
[10:50:51] -!- jerryitt has quit [Quit: Connection closed for inactivity]
[10:51:06] <Swapper_> when i looked at the mesa 7i77 raw counter
[10:52:12] <Swapper_> and i think 8192 would work but i whant to understand why its that value and not 4096 or 16384
[10:52:17] <archivist> wired both a and b ?
[10:52:22] <Swapper_> yea
[10:52:30] <Swapper_> and index
[10:52:58] <witnit> have you tried hooking up the nots only?
[10:53:10] <Swapper_> but would i see this if 1 channel is not working ?
[10:53:14] <witnit> maybe the standard end of things is silly
[10:53:32] <witnit> yeah Im sure thats not it
[10:53:48] <witnit> I just had an issue in the past but I could see that my a or b was bad by scoope
[10:53:59] -!- larryone has quit [Quit: This computer has gone to sleep]
[10:54:47] <witnit> do you know the true lpr of the encoder?
[10:54:55] <Swapper_> its a resolver at the motor
[10:55:00] <witnit> ohh
[10:55:02] <Swapper_> the servoamp converts it
[10:55:06] <witnit> I see
[10:55:07] <Swapper_> to emulated encoder
[10:55:26] <Swapper_> and i can set whatever up to 4096 lines per rev
[10:56:02] <witnit> maybe the resolver is only pulling half counts
[10:56:02] <Swapper_> but i feel i have missed somting in the scale/conversion process
[10:56:22] <Swapper_> hum ok
[10:56:23] <witnit> so everything else looks right but you never see it since its behind the amp
[11:00:05] <Swapper_> "Pulses are
[11:00:06] <Swapper_> output as two signals, A and B, with 90° phase difference and a zero pulse. The resolution
[11:00:08] <Swapper_> (lines before quadrature) can be changed with the RESOLUTION parameter:"
[11:00:14] <Swapper_> thats from the manual
[11:00:34] <Swapper_> maybe it is as you said, "before" quaderature
[11:01:21] <Swapper_> or how should i understand this ?
[11:01:26] <witnit> i never messed with such a device, im noob to resolvers common practice
[11:01:39] <witnit> souble whatever the resolution paremeter is?
[11:01:45] <witnit> double*?
[11:01:59] <witnit> or divide by two or somehting
[11:02:06] <witnit> so what turn up
[11:02:08] <archivist> use a scope to check what you set has happened
[11:03:23] <Swapper_> what i see with a setting of 4096 in the amp is that i get x 2 pulses on the encoder input
[11:03:24] <witnit> these RLS problems have to be the best education for such a field, getting problem solved in an irxc
[11:03:32] -!- larryone has quit [Quit: This computer has gone to sleep]
[11:05:44] <Swapper_> then the amp is probably putting out 2048 lines per rev
[11:06:01] <Swapper_> if i put that in pncconf then i think its right
[11:06:07] <Swapper_> ill try it later

[12:32:41] <GuShH_> Loetmichel: any ideas on non common sources of small diameter cast iron rod?
[12:32:56] <Loetmichel> no
[12:33:07] <GuShH_> aww
[12:33:18] <Loetmichel> other than : buy a plate in fitting thickness and saw/turn them down
[12:33:32] <GuShH_> o.O
[12:33:45] <Loetmichel> cast iron and small diameter doesent mix very well
[12:33:53] <Loetmichel> its a bit brittle that stuff ;-)
[12:34:13] <GuShH_> this blueprint calls for cast iron, half inch turned diameter so the stock would have to be slightly bigger
[12:34:28] <Loetmichel> how long?
[12:34:37] <GuShH_> the finished parts?
[12:34:41] <Loetmichel> yes
[12:34:53] <GuShH_> one is 15mm and the other is 9mm

[12:43:15] <miss0r> Arent anyone using the image-to-gcode in here ?
[12:45:12] <miss0r> I am looking for some software that can take jpeg, png ect. pictures and convert them to dxf code. So that I can then convert it to proper g-code. Is that available for linux ?
[12:45:38] <Loetmichel> that depends on what you hope to get
[12:45:41] <Loetmichel> a relief?
[12:45:55] <Loetmichel> a "light thru" panel?
[12:46:29] <miss0r> light thru? I am hoping do do routing at 0.2mm dept
[12:46:38] <GuShH_> height map
[12:46:54] <Loetmichel> so the colours/graysale represents the depth?
[12:46:55] <miss0r> well, I am hoping to use a "flat" design
[12:47:08] * GuShH_ could code that up but what's in it for him...
[12:47:08] <miss0r> no. black= 0.2mm white = 0.0mm
[12:47:10] <miss0r> something like that
[12:47:17] <Loetmichel> ah, i see
[12:47:35] <Loetmichel> i have seen a tool that can do that but i dont rtemember the name
[12:47:42] <GuShH_> show me the image, some sample code.
[12:48:03] <miss0r> At the moment I am just trying to do
http://th05.deviantart.net/fs71/PRE/f/2011/285/4/c/me_gusta_by_rober_raik-d4clrpu.png
[12:48:06] <miss0r> for the fun of it
[12:48:13] <GuShH_> sigh
[12:48:23] <miss0r> one has to start somewhere :)
[12:48:33] <Loetmichel> if all fails: use a tool that does 2 colour dithering and then use a vectorizer
[12:48:41] <GuShH_> my first test would probably be a set of good titties, not a meme.
[12:48:54] <GuShH_> and the sample code?
[12:49:05] <miss0r> I was hoping to be able to convert it to dxf or simular, so I won't have to do rows with depts across the plane
[12:49:17] <archivist> miss0r, image3gcode is a brightness to height, you just need to scale your levels
[12:49:29] <miss0r> GuShH_, at the moment I only have what the image-to-gcode python script generates
[12:49:33] <GuShH_> why would it be a 3 instead of a 2
[12:49:50] <GuShH_> oh so you want to create a vector path first...
[12:49:56] <miss0r> indeed
[12:50:01] <GuShH_> don't you also want it to massage you while you wait?
[12:50:13] <GuShH_> I've programmed vector tracers, but nothing worth sharing.
[12:50:21] <miss0r> sure - if it's not too much trouble ;)
[12:50:24] <archivist> you want an edge finding routine
[12:50:36] <Loetmichel> miss0r: if you use an image tool that converts your image to black and with ba dithering it "wood print like" and THEN use image2gcode you would get what you want
[12:51:02] <archivist> dont want dither with vectors
[12:51:16] <Loetmichel> dither is the wrong word
[12:51:21] <GuShH_> archivist: I actually used marching box followed by douglas peucker.
[12:51:45] <GuShH_> Loetmichel: you can simply constrain the levels
[12:51:54] <Loetmichel> there are tools that can convert color pic sto thes "line widht grayscale"
[12:51:58] <GuShH_> Loetmichel: but he wants to generate a logical path for the tool
[12:52:05] <GuShH_> instead of doing "scanlines"
[12:52:12] <GuShH_> not sure why he's on such a whim
[12:52:15] <PetefromTn_> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A3lBZo--kfU
[12:52:25] <Loetmichel> and then you can use THAT image to get it vectorized
[12:52:34] <miss0r> if possible - not to waste movement
[12:52:36] <GuShH_> sounds like a lot of effort for nothing
[12:52:58] <miss0r> it might be. I just thought that was the right way to go
[12:53:14] <miss0r> I am quite a newbie

[13:00:07] <GuShH_> still, not doing what he requested (vector path)
[13:00:38] <miss0r> Is it even out there, the software of which I speak?
[13:00:43] <GuShH_> it's not as trivial as it sounds to program something that works in "all cases"
[13:00:56] <GuShH_> miss0r: doubtful, I bet I can code it but again... for wat
[13:00:57] <GuShH_> what*
[13:00:59] <PetefromTn_> It can also do 3d toolpaths similarly surface from bitmap
[13:01:44] <miss0r> GuShH_, Indeed - I have nothing to offer. But I was thinking it would be alot faster to do it that way, that to scan across the plane
[13:01:53] <Jymmm> miss0r: Use the trace feature in inkscape.
[13:02:00] <archivist> vector from image is generally not the right idea
[13:02:13] <GuShH_> from a picture... well no.
[13:02:18] <GuShH_> but he showed an "ink" drawing
[13:02:40] <GuShH_> which consists of curves.
[13:02:54] <miss0r> Yeah - i'm not realy hoping to do portraits of people or anything like that. Just black/white design of sorts
[13:04:58] <miss0r> I was just hoping to get a fast and simple way to transfer graphic design to my board.
[13:05:23] <Jymmm> That's not what you asked for
[13:05:25] <miss0r> and since I am a horrible newbie, something I can draw in gimp or something like that
[13:05:27] <GuShH_> those tools do it, just not in the way you want them to.
[13:05:52] <miss0r> well, I want them to do it the way I want it :)
[13:05:54] <GuShH_> they take bitmaps, use their levels to come up with a depth, based on some given constraints... then output the code.
[13:06:01] <GuShH_> miss0r: hire someone then
[13:06:03] <GuShH_> or learn.
[13:06:14] <miss0r> learning is what I am hoping to do here ;)
[13:06:22] <GuShH_> start by learning c or c++
[13:06:23] <Jymmm> miss0r: This aint Burger King, you can't have it your way!

[13:06:28] <GuShH_> we'll see you back in about 10 years.
[13:06:51] <GuShH_> Jymmm: bah ever since they changed their fries they CANT have it my way.
[13:06:52] <archivist> edge detect to get from bitmap to vector, then vector to gcode
[13:06:54] <miss0r> Jymmm, Burger King won't even do it my way... apparently it is "crazy" to order a burger without the buns
[13:07:09] <miss0r> archivist, I will look into that, thank you
[13:07:09] <GuShH_> edge detection is just a convolution kernel based filter....
[13:07:11] <GuShH_> it's still a bitmap
[13:07:20] <GuShH_> you need to trace it.
[13:07:34] <Jymmm> miss0r: CarlsJr you can... Just ask for the low carb option and they will replace the buns with lettuce wrap
[13:07:35] <GuShH_> marching box works fine for that, you then have to optimize it.
[13:07:35] -!- i_tarzan [i_tarzan!~i_tarzan@189.180.13.185] has joined #linuxcnc
[13:07:44] <GuShH_> but to characterize each separate object it well, gets tricky
[13:07:56] <GuShH_> using an accumulation buffer helps with that
[13:08:23] <GuShH_> a burger without buns is not a burger sir.
[13:08:37] <GuShH_> it's just some stuff on a patty.
[13:08:40] <archivist> miss0r, you will likely get a lot of jaggies unless you cheat or the edge detect also curve detects

[13:09:13] <GuShH_> if after the detection and optimization you convert the points into bezier curves, no jaggies..
[13:09:19] <GuShH_> again, non trivial.
[13:09:54] <archivist> curve fitting is a bit of a minefield :)
[13:11:03] <archivist> GuShH_, you got the Graphics Gems series of books?
[13:11:14] <miss0r> I can tell I need to read up on the terms you use :)
[13:11:51] <GuShH_> Loetmichel: meanwhile in Honda HQ, Japan - They're testing a brand new motorcycle
http://oi60.tinypic.com/4k7mte.jpg
[13:15:11] <miss0r> With a simple image-to-gcode generated g-code, wouldn't it be possible to just remove all movement where z=0 ?
[13:15:22] <miss0r> and them use that as a half-assed sorta' tracing?
[13:16:09] * GuShH_ doesn't follow
[13:16:11] <GuShH_> archivist: maaaybe
[13:16:39] <archivist> I thought you would :)
[13:16:50] <archivist> I am missing one of the set
[13:17:00] <miss0r> This one traces across the plane and each time it has to do some milling, it dips z to minus something. If I could just find a way to remove all the movement where it just scans the surface, I would have reduced the time spend by alot
[13:17:27] <GuShH_> I'm not sure it would output non required code
[13:18:01] <GuShH_> but it could just be a dumb dump
[13:18:37] <miss0r> it does. err, I think it does - I see no reason for it to move from max to min each time it passes when it only touches down 5% across the scan
[13:20:39] <archivist> hack the code
[13:21:29] <miss0r> indeed. I just thought enough opensource people did this, to find a nice little software pack prebuild :)
[13:21:50] <GuShH_> opensource, pfft.
[13:22:29] <miss0r> GuShH_, Whats wrong with opensource? it's bad because it doesn't make you rich? ;)
[13:22:37] <GuShH_> nothing makes me rich
[13:22:51] <miss0r> Thats the spirit.
[13:22:53] <GuShH_> it's bad because most of it is stagnant crap
[13:25:13] <GuShH_> archivist: any idea what the "part" up top might be?
http://imgur.com/XH7W0MY it's a small lot of trashy items someone is trying to sell.
[13:28:32] <archivist> part of the guts of something like a rotary
[13:29:24] <archivist> I have something similar in a rusty rotary I got off fleabay
[13:29:57] <GuShH_> rotary pump?
[13:30:38] <GuShH_> odd they would place that next to the lathe stuff
[13:31:15] <archivist> indexing type rotary
[13:32:53] <GuShH_> oh
[13:36:57] <archivist> internal to something like

[16:19:18] <MrHindsight> if you need an output to toggle many times synchronized to motion what's a good way to do it? M62 and M63 require motion right after in order to flip states. M64 and M65 break blending.

[16:20:17] <shaun413> Why
[16:20:23] <shaun413> So just get hf

[16:20:49] <GuShH_> sherline is bs on a stick.
[16:20:51] <shaun413> But smaller
[16:20:58] <archivist> too small
[16:20:58] <GuShH_> it's not even a full lathe.
[16:21:03] <shaun413> So what's good
[16:21:05] <MrHindsight> let's say I want a digital output to change states every 4 steps or based on some regular interval based on encoder position
[16:21:07] <shaun413> That I can buy new
[16:21:13] <GuShH_> why new?

[16:21:30] <shaun413> I don't want to mess with old stuff
[16:21:39] <GuShH_> you'll have to mess with the new stuff just as much
[16:21:44] <archivist> cheap new is hf quality
[16:21:50] <XXCoder> http://www.csparks.com/watchmaking/Lathes.html some good ones, and couple small ancient ones
[16:21:51] <GuShH_> old is better
[16:21:58] <shaun413> Hm
[16:22:50] <shaun413> I don't have room for something huge
[16:22:59] <GuShH_> shaun413: there are a lot of good used lathes in your region... not the case for me, I could never find a complete one.
[16:23:11] <GuShH_> they're not huge, those old craftsman were BENCH lathes.
[16:23:18] <shaun413> Hmm
[16:23:22] <GuShH_> possibly some logans and whatnot also small in size.

[16:27:48] <shaun413> Oh
[16:28:00] <GuShH_> shaun413: means every time you want to change feeds you spend 10 minutes fiddling with gears, assuming you have them.
[16:28:51] <Loetmichel> GuShH_: so what? whre is the problem to fit a stepper to the leadscrew and a quadrature sensor to the main spindle?
[16:28:54] <GuShH_> not only do you have to set the right gears, also their meshing gap (surely there's a proper name for this) so they engage properly
[16:29:01] <Loetmichel> (and some electronics)
[16:29:03] <GuShH_> Loetmichel: we're talking about Shaun
[16:29:16] <Loetmichel> ok, granted, THAT will be a problem ;-)
[16:29:24] <GuShH_> Loetmichel: fyi that model had an optional quick change gear box.. already told him this the other day
[16:29:36] <Loetmichel> ah, i see
[16:29:42] <GuShH_> if you can find the old catalogs they show the optionals
[16:30:17] <Loetmichel> my (bigger) lahe has that gear change problem also
[16:30:21] <GuShH_> shaun413: ask someone with a lathe if they'll let you use it...
[16:30:42] <Loetmichel> have a BUCH of gears, still only metric threads possible
[16:31:05] <Loetmichel> as soon as i have fitted the new 3 phase motor i will address that problem ;-)
[16:31:19] <GuShH_> mine is "half norton" meaning you get about 9 positions on the given A and B gears, but you still have to change them manually, it's just nice having that range... in fact for metric threading I get most pitches within those 9 positions
[16:31:33] <GuShH_> Loetmichel: pfft I'm fitting mine first with a 3 phase and a vfd!
[16:31:40] * GuShH_ frowns

[16:42:40] <GuShH_> I bet it doesn't even turn

[16:43:50] <GuShH_> no, but you can see it on the knee

[16:44:17] <shaun413> Well gushh
[16:44:17] <Jymmm> oh
[16:44:30] <GuShH_> looks like a nice threading job
[16:44:36] <Loetmichel> M16*2
[16:44:40] <GuShH_> no binding?
[16:44:47] <Loetmichel> binding?
[16:44:56] <GuShH_> does it get stuck in some portion of the travel
[16:45:02] <shaun413> So you don't think the little machine shop lathe looks good???
[16:45:03] <Jymmm> Loetmichel: al ?
[16:45:10] <Loetmichel> 7075
[16:45:11] <GuShH_> looks like aluminum to me
[16:45:21] <GuShH_> shaun413: it doesn't matter how it looks
[16:45:29] <shaun413> Does it work good
[16:45:31] <Jymmm> Loetmichel: why al?
[16:45:46] <Jymmm> Loetmichel: as a test?
[16:45:46] <archivist> GuShH_, with any luck that is just on the outside, the main problem is likely the tapers, is the price right though
[16:45:48] <shaun413> Gingery is aluminum
[16:45:53] <shaun413> People use those
[16:45:59] <Loetmichel> because its the outer shell for one of these Power knobs:
[16:46:13] <Loetmichel> http://www.cyrom.org/palbum/main.php?g2_itemId=11570
[16:46:19] <Loetmichel> and there is no steel needed
[16:46:22] <GuShH_> I found another one but with a smaller table, for slightly less money... the other one is in very good condition because they use it at the shop
[16:46:35] <GuShH_> this one is clearly gathering surface rust waiting for a buyer
[16:46:41] <Jymmm> Loetmichel: ah
[16:46:45] <Loetmichel> it will be screwed in the back of this:
[16:46:53] <GuShH_> why won't these machine reselling dipshits spray some oil on them, at least?

[16:54:44] <GuShH_> http://www.lathes.co.uk/boffelli%26finazzi/ that looks like a fine copy though
[16:54:53] <Loetmichel> we can certify to german zone and nato Sdip 27

[18:01:01] <MrHindsight> who can we get to sponsor building the worlds largest CNC machine?
[18:01:14] <XXCoder> some billionaire I guess
[18:01:28] <XXCoder> make it size of football field

[18:11:30] <MrHindsight> sure, live tooling on the end of an arm
[18:12:04] <MrHindsight> use lasers and reference points to calibrate and align the cutting heads

[18:29:46] <PetefromTn_> trying to get the BEST finish I can from this flycutter I have here.
[18:29:52] <PetefromTn_> In 6061.
[18:30:00] <GuShH_> PetefromTn_: hone your tool
[18:30:12] <PetefromTn_> It is an insert lathe tool.
[18:30:17] <GuShH_> hss?
[18:30:18] <GuShH_> oh
[18:30:19] <GuShH_> carbide
[18:30:23] <PetefromTn_> yeah carbide.
[18:30:25] <GuShH_> good luck.
[18:30:38] <GuShH_> I would use hss with a finely honed cutting surface.

[18:31:18] <PetefromTn_> Right now the BEST I have gotten was with about a 3.5 inch diameter cut and .010 depth of cut at 18 IPM and 2200 RPM
[18:31:26] <GuShH_> is the tool even meant to act as a flycutter?
[18:31:32] <GuShH_> due to the angle involved
[18:31:36] <PetefromTn_> I considered installing a 5/8 lathe toolbit in it.
[18:31:45] <PetefromTn_> LOL probably not.

[18:32:37] <GuShH_> the difference between freshly ground and honed is very noticeable
[18:32:43] <PetefromTn_> at work they have some Seco OCtomills and they make a MIRROR finish but I don't have the coin so the fly cutter is the best I can do right now.

[18:35:28] <GuShH_> but he's in the youtube "machinist" circle
[18:35:52] <somenewguy_bu> so a home ground HSS flycuttter will give better alu finish than a carbide insert?
[18:36:05] <GuShH_> a carbide insert NOT MEANT for flycutting, I bet.
[18:36:52] <somenewguy_bu> they seem to make inserts in any and all styles, so i figured tehre was a big radius tool out there, but i still don't even own a flycutter so i got no idea
[18:36:53] <MrHindsight> I picked up a $40 set of lathe carbide tools for fly cutting

[18:38:16] * GuShH_ pouts at the nice kurt vise
[18:39:22] <GuShH_> I usually just touch the hss on the wheel and put it back on the lathe, without realizing how much of a difference it makes to hone the edges.

[18:40:12] <somenewguy_bu> http://www.cnccookbook.com/CCFlyCutter.html everythin i know about flycutters, and my tyring to justify a boring head casue it would work for me lol
[18:40:30] <somenewguy_bu> what do you mean when you say hone the edge? I have been googling it since it was first mentioned and I keep not finding exactly what you mean
[18:40:41] <GuShH_> those cutters from the video are very nice.
[18:40:59] <GuShH_> somenewguy_bu: honing with a stone
[18:41:24] <shaun413> Hi
[18:41:25] <GuShH_> I use a water stone, no idea about the grit size but it's the finest one I have and I use it for my knives.
[18:41:45] -!- amnesic has quit [Quit: amnesic]
[18:42:40] <somenewguy_bu> oh ok
[18:42:43] <GuShH_> at minute 17 or so he begins to hone the tool.
[18:42:55] <somenewguy_bu> that what I thought but wanted to make sure
[18:43:33] <GuShH_> the previous video shows the same technique but on lathe tools, which is what I compared myself and sure enough, honing does make a huge difference in surface finish
[18:43:59] <GuShH_> it does take much longer than just regrinding the edge though
[18:44:41] * GuShH_ felt bad for the stone as he kept honing on the same place every single time
[18:44:56] <GuShH_> but maybe he had a high spot there :P
[18:45:22] <MrHindsight> honing is similar to surface grinding, the finish should be similar
[18:45:50] <GuShH_> it's a much finer grit than your average bench grinder stone, which is what most people use
[18:45:57] <GuShH_> but you are taking away the rough spots
[18:46:08] <GuShH_> in all fairness you would use multiple stones
[18:46:34] <PetefromTn_> well apparently the cemented carbide lathe tool with a hand ground edge is FAR superior to THIS particular insert cutter for flycutting purposes.
[18:46:56] <GuShH_> superior how?
[18:47:07] <PetefromTn_> surface finish.
[18:47:16] <GuShH_> doesn't seem to be the case
[18:47:33] <PetefromTn_> it is the case here...
[18:48:07] <GuShH_> you were complaining about the surface finish
[18:48:30] <PetefromTn_> yeah..
[18:48:49] <GuShH_> I remember reading about inserts... then brazed ("cemented")

[18:49:55] <PetefromTn_> yeah and what I am saying is that the finish I was getting with a screw in carbide lathe tool insert is NOT as good as this hand ground cemented carbide lathe toolbit I grabbed from my lathe tools just now and tried.
[18:50:23] <GuShH_> makes sense

[18:51:08] <PetefromTn_> So If I intend to keep it setup that way I gotta remember to spin it the right direction. I am gonna mark the body of the toolholder with the specs.

[18:54:09] <PetefromTn_> Looks like about 2500 RPM and 24 IPM feedrate with a .010 DOC feels real good.

[20:12:28] <PetefromTn_> Honestly while he did actually cut the steel I would imagine he probably burnt thru half a dozen or more cutters with that single op. Steel cuts much slower speeds than that generally. If you build it rigid enought you MIGHT be able to cut aluminum and I say that with the understanding that you will cut it like the guys who make the datron machines do. HIGH Spindle speeds and fast feedrates with shallowish depths of cut.
[20:13:04] <zeeshan> you can cut steel really fast

[20:14:54] <zeeshan> did you end up ordering those shars hydraulic arms?
[20:15:01] <PetefromTn_> If you have any thoughts of moldmaking you are really needing a proper milling machine man. If it is just for fun and hobby stuff and goofing around learning then knock yourself out but if you have any real intentions of doing it for real get yourself a nice rigid mill.
[20:15:28] <zeeshan> PetefromTn_: why would you want to do that
[20:15:36] <zeeshan> when you can build a floppy machine , then realize that
[20:15:41] <zeeshan> then get a real mill

[20:16:05] <Noxz> some of the peices I am using are rather large, like 50x100 (25mm series) for the x axis beam, riding ontop of 4 THK ssr20 bearings rails (8 blocks)
[20:16:22] <zeeshan> Noxz: have you done deflection calculations?
[20:16:28] <zeeshan> or you just throwing around big beams
[20:16:30] <zeeshan> and hoping it works
[20:16:57] <Noxz> I am not sure if the deflection numbers exist for some of the 80/20 peices
[20:17:04] <zeeshan> they dont need to
[20:17:18] <zeeshan> you can find all your moments of inertia based on the profile
[20:18:26] <PetefromTn_> Noxz I am really not trying to bust your balls here I am just trying to say that cutting metal takes some rigidity and a homebuilt machine made from extrusions is going to be marginal at best. There is a real reason why machining centers are made from Cast iron and weigh many tons.
[20:18:38] <Noxz> I'm fairly sure that I can get done what I need to do
[20:18:51] <zeeshan> do you know what a simply supported beam is?
[20:19:08] <zeeshan> http://static5.theconstructor.org/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/clip_image001.jpg
[20:19:10] <zeeshan> something like that
[20:19:22] <XXCoder> PetefromTn_: I wonder if using alum L beams to make qantry more rigit would work? (not for him, I just want just rigit enough to mill alum slowly)
[20:19:27] <zeeshan> to find the maximum deflection at the center for a point load like that
[20:19:41] <zeeshan> you can do y = -F*l^3 / (48E*I)
[20:19:46] <zeeshan> I = moment of inertia of the profile
[20:19:56] <PetefromTn_> well good luck with it. Honestly extruded aluminum machines are best suited for wood routing and plasma cutting etc..
[20:19:56] <zeeshan> E = modulus of rigidity (youngs modulus)

[20:20:29] <XXCoder> Pete yeah I would do mostly wood. Just want alum just to mill few parts for better cnc
[20:21:14] <PetefromTn_> Then build it as tight and rigid as you can and machine like the datron mills do fast speeds and feeds and shallow depths of cut and you will probably be fine in aluminum.
[20:21:34] <XXCoder> I was thinking box type gantry
[20:21:46] <XXCoder> using alum L bems to make it extra rigid

[20:23:04] <Einar> Your spindle may do 30KRPM? Then a cutting speed calculator will tell you what dia cutter to use.
[20:23:42] <PetefromTn_> There are tons of examples of well built CNC routers making light cuts in aluminum on youtube so it is doable. Steel is another story unless you like burning up cutters and whatnot.
[20:23:45] <Einar> And coolant! It does wonders for aluminum cutting.

[20:24:35] <Einar> For steel, rebuild a decent size older mill.
[20:24:35] <zeeshan> :P
[20:24:44] <zeeshan> hopefully i calculated that right :P
[20:24:51] <PetefromTn_> No you didn't but you did say MOSTLY metal and talked about molds for plastics..
[20:25:27] <zeeshan> Noxz: point is you can make a crazy mill out of 8020
[20:25:29] <zeeshan> if you do it right
[20:26:09] <Noxz> that doesnt seem too bad, especially if you measuer it you could do some software compensation

[21:11:22] <Einar> So if it does not move it's fine. In metric or imperial.

[21:12:47] <andypugh> Noxz: Floorboards?
[21:13:08] <zeeshan> i dont have a pic of this
[21:13:10] <Noxz> like, a tabletop that can hold the peice your working on in place
[21:13:14] <Noxz> via tslots of holes
[21:13:16] <zeeshan> but do you guys know what a plastic handle with two plastic wheels is for?
[21:13:38] <PetefromTn_> maybe a screen tool?
[21:13:51] <zeeshan> thats exactly what it is
[21:13:54] <zeeshan> what is it for
[21:14:07] <zeeshan> oh
[21:14:08] <PetefromTn_> you use it to push the little rubber stopper in all around the edge.
[21:14:14] <zeeshan> ah
[21:14:25] <Einar> PetefromTN: Get a LVDT indicator. Then you can get a display as big as you like.

[21:14:41] <zeeshan> mine looks exactly like that brown one
[21:14:44] <PetefromTn_> LOL yeah for my blind ass right LOL...
[21:14:46] <zeeshan> not sure what that was doing in the machinist box
[21:15:03] <PetefromTn_> I got one too LOL.
[21:15:10] <PetefromTn_> Looks just like that..
[21:15:56] <andypugh> I am not sure I would want a digital gauge for centering stuffs.
[21:16:01] <PetefromTn_> Honestly those interapids are about the best I have used..
[21:16:21] <andypugh> Noxz: T-slot? Or vacuum?
[21:16:28] <zeeshan> andypugh: they're not that bad
[21:16:35] <Noxz> vacuum? no need for that
[21:16:36] <zeeshan> a lot of good ones have analog bars on em
[21:16:38] <PetefromTn_> They got starrett Mitutoyo, B&S etc at the shop so I get to try em all.
[21:16:58] <Einar> Older LVDT interfaces have moving coil indicators.
[21:16:58] <zeeshan> PetefromTn_: so you just like feel of the interapid?
[21:17:16] <zeeshan> like if im buying a tool
[21:17:25] <zeeshan> i gotta justify the cost, 200$ is a lot for a used interapid
[21:17:41] <PetefromTn_> I dunno I like the large dial, I like that it is angled, I like that it pivots, I like that it had the little dovetails all over... And it is a quality unit. the shars will probably not be as nice tho...
[21:18:03] <zeeshan> the mitutoyo tdi has dove taills all over!
[21:18:14] <PetefromTn_> Yeah so does my chinese copy LOL...
[21:18:50] <zeeshan> damn those interapid indicators are expensive
[21:19:24] <zeeshan> i still feel like a lot of this name brand stuff is a "hype"
[21:19:25] <PetefromTn_> yeah they are but they are probably worth it...
[21:19:26] <zeeshan> that people spread
[21:19:46] <PetefromTn_> I will have to settle for the Shars copy I guess....
[21:19:48] <zeeshan> like taiwanese micrometers vs mitutoyo vs starrett
[21:20:05] <zeeshan> taiwanese micrometers work just as good, if not better than the starrett's stupid little locking mechanism
[21:20:29] <PetefromTn_> http://knoxville.craigslist.org/tls/4419748558.html Here ya go man...
[21:20:35] <zeeshan> i should start videos on youtube "chinese vs made in usa"
[21:20:49] <PetefromTn_> NICE set there...
[21:20:56] <zeeshan> nice cause its b&s
[21:21:04] <zeeshan> but it prolly works functionally the same as the imperial set
[21:21:04] <zeeshan> er
[21:21:06] <zeeshan> import set
[21:21:24] <PetefromTn_> probably... but that is a great deal. wish I had the cash..
[21:21:40] <PetefromTn_> I shudder to think what those cost new...
[21:21:44] <zeeshan> don't fall for the made in usa vs name brand mess!

[21:22:22] <PetefromTn_> Well there are USA made things that kick ass man... and then there are things the chinese copy well... It is all relative..
[21:22:48] <zeeshan> those mitutoyo copies are so good
[21:23:05] <PetefromTn_> do you have some?
[21:23:08] <zeeshan> yes
[21:23:28] <zeeshan> i was telling you the other day i sold the starret outside mics i had
[21:23:33] <PetefromTn_> It would be interesting to get some inspection grade standards and check them out...
[21:23:48] <zeeshan> i have some mitutyo inspection grade standards that i've tested them out with
[21:23:58] <zeeshan> i should make a video!
[21:24:10] <zeeshan> but i only have a stupid iphone :{
[21:24:10] <PetefromTn_> Even still they are all adjustable but that only moves the whole scale...
[21:24:37] <zeeshan> tell me one to test
[21:24:41] <PetefromTn_> Yeah they are stupid.. :D
[21:25:02] <zeeshan> 3-4 -> 3.1 3.4 3.6 3.95?
[21:25:30] <PetefromTn_> What grade are your standards?
[21:25:56] <zeeshan> 2
[21:27:08] <zeeshan> i should check
[21:27:52] <PetefromTn_> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gauge_block Interesting.
[21:27:57] <Noxz> hrm.. I am trying to figure out how to do some t-slots via 80/20 while also having a bit of flat area for support (otherwise it's alot of 80/20
[21:28:44] <zeeshan> according to that wiki they are between inspection grade and calibration grade
[21:29:01] <zeeshan> between A and AA
[21:29:38] <PetefromTn_> They should have a cert in the box that tells you what they are.

[21:37:50] <somenewguy> huh I am shopping for a dial indicator too, launched my Shars on friday when my sleeve turned the machine on by accident...
[21:38:31] <somenewguy> what is the techincal name for the one w/ the cantilevered arm that you use for tramming etc? not a staight plunge like most dial indicators, but a....?
[21:39:18] <Tom_itx> last word
[21:39:24] <somenewguy> borrowing a buddies turlin, but the dovetail on the face side slopes the wrong way and makes it next to impossible to use on my machine, so I guess another shars is in my future
[21:40:20] <zeeshan> i didnt get the certificate
[21:40:28] <zeeshan> but it has the mitutoyo part number on the side
[21:40:29] -!- chillly has quit [Quit: Leaving]
[21:41:34] <zeeshan> pete so i tested out the 3-4 import 3" 3.451 and 3.850 and 3.500
[21:41:44] <zeeshan> and it reads spot on but takes a couple of 'ratchets' to get there
[21:41:47] <zeeshan> like 4-5 ratchets
[21:42:07] <zeeshan> the mitutoyo 3-4 gets there in 2 ratchets
[21:42:10] <somenewguy> not quite what I am currently using, but maybe I should think about getting one of those instead

[22:42:16] <nick__> Any idea why my edge detectors aren't doing anything?

[22:43:15] <nick__> http://pastebin.com/Hz1TbvpJ
[22:44:28] <NickParker> Oh, looking at some of kwallace's code it looks like edge probably needs to be addf'd to do anything..
[22:44:30] <andypugh> nick__: The fast thread is not capable of performing floating point maths (actually, the next release will change that, but that’s not the point).
[22:44:43] <NickParker> andypugh: That makes sense, thanks.
[22:45:05] <andypugh> But, you really should not have a base thread with a 6i25. There is no point.

[22:47:21] <andypugh> Just remove all referencs to the base thread unless you are actually needing it. (It is possible to use software stepgens etc with Mesa cards, there is a base-thread compatible “read-gpio” and “write-gpio” function in hm2 that means that a Mesa card can be at least as good as a parport for software-generated signals etc, but it is rarely used.
[22:48:10] <NickParker-LCNC> andypugh I think I need base-thread for my on-motherboard parport
[22:48:38] <NickParker-LCNC> I'm putting my endstops and eventually toolchanger through it. Toolchanger doesn't need any speed but endstops could use it for repeatability I imagine.
[22:49:11] <andypugh> NickParker-LCNC: The reason that the edge isn’t working is that you have no line that “addf”-s the edge detector to a thread.

[22:50:22] <NickParker-LCNC> andypugh I've just realized that from reading some of kwallace's hal stuff posted on his website.
[22:50:35] <NickParker-LCNC> Thanks for putting in the effort to read my code though.
[22:50:51] <andypugh> I have never forgotten to addf a function. Honest :-)
[22:51:31] <NickParker-LCNC> I don't know why, but I assumed edge and stuff like it in hal just worked. Making the programmer addf everything is a nice convention.
[22:51:47] <NickParker-LCNC> Makes the whole thing more controllable and all
[22:54:17] <andypugh> Things run in the exact sequence they are addf-ed in. Give some thought to what order you want things to happen in. Nothing should run before it has inputs, and things should run before anyhting that uses their output.
[22:55:27] <andypugh> Actually, you can add modifiers to addf to force an execution order, if you really need to. But that is only usually necessary when there are multiple HAL files.
[23:00:08] <NickParker-LCNC> andypugh: I'll make sure I get all that in order then.
[23:00:45] <NickParker-LCNC> All I've got left is checking that and endstops then I'm ready to wire it up and see what happens

[23:47:26] <MrHindsight> G1 (something) then 0-100 counts a IO flips state, then 1-100 counts it changes state again
[23:47:33] <pcw_home> I've done some FPGA code that does that (play out a data FIFO with enc counts)
[23:47:50] <MrHindsight> I'd like to set the number of counts
[23:48:16] <MrHindsight> I can see using counters in the FPGA
[23:48:55] <pcw_home> if the base thread is fast enough you could do it with the software encoder and a comp
[23:49:16] <MrHindsight> it's how I do it now with a separate FPGA, but I'd like to do it all with one FPGA and only with Linuxcnc
[23:50:00] <MrHindsight> the IO is always synched to the encoder counts or steps
[23:50:10] <pcw_home> either a FIFO or a compare/trigger gen
[23:50:12] <MrHindsight> it's never just in the ballpark
[23:50:18] -!- rob_h has quit [Ping timeout: 245 seconds]
[23:50:55] <pcw_home> so the g code sets up the upcoming trigger point fifo
[23:51:35] <pcw_home> each trigger point has an attached "op" field that controls the I/O
[23:51:55] <MrHindsight> yeah, since the machine might be moving when the valve is not being used, it's not just based on when it gets counts or steps
[23:53:32] <MrHindsight> as a working example say you are controlling a laser engraver and you want to print dotted or dashed lines vs continuous segments
[23:53:41] <pcw_home> for general "painting" apps a FIFO of pure data is probably better
[23:53:50] <andypugh> I think you can do it with HAL. Use a dif on positon and integrate with a looped-back sum2. That gives you a monotonically increasing position. Scale that and convert to int and then do the action based on an edge detector looking at the lowest order bit (choose the scale up the chain to set the frequency).
[23:54:36] <andypugh> That does need bitwise maths in HAL, though, but I added that to 2.5 recently so it should filter through soon.
[23:55:10] <pcw_home> or just a rate multiplier
[23:55:29] <andypugh> MrHindsight: Sounds like graster:

[23:55:55] <andypugh> Though that always seemed like a really hard way to solve something that should be simple.
[23:56:04] <MrHindsight> I'll play with this using the 6i25 and also test that config for the Leadshine 3660
